Fantasizing about the future situation, Li Kuan continued to do serious work, sorting out the materials in Dingxiang and Shuofang and the grassland.

It doesn't matter if the family can win the battle, the materials must be supplied first.

At present, the most indispensable food in the grasslands is meat and dairy products.

He doesn't have to worry about this, the main thing he needs to sort out is rice noodles.

"Rice, the reserves of noodles are not enough, if the reserves are sent to the Western Regions, the grassland will have to pray that the Central Plains can be replenished in time."

Li Kuan rubbed his temples and thought.

He needed to think about whether the situation was appropriate or not.

"But I remember that the grain reserves of the grasslands have not always been stockpiled to cope with the supply of the Western Regions, why is this still happening?"

Li Kuan thought about it, and suddenly thought of something wrong.

A long time ago, the storehouses of the grasslands were stockpiling grain, after all, the grasslands have always been a transit point in the Western Regions.

After the family went to the Western Regions, they were destined to have a shortage of food, and they could not requisition them with all their might.

Now, after the grain reserves of the grasslands are transported to the Western Regions, they have to rely on the Central Plains to deliver grain on time.

Li Kuan felt that neither he nor Yu Zhining were people who were used to working under the bottom line.

Well, there's a problem.

Squinting his eyes, Li Kuan found Minglan and asked him to go to Xu Jingzong.

Recently, Lao Xu has been in charge of the material affairs of the grassland.

When Xu Jingzong heard Li Kuan's call, he hurriedly rushed over and said: "Your Highness, I have been doing the matter of grain reserves, and there was a problem with the batch of grain that should have been in place a while ago for reserves, and the granary for transfer was on fire. ”

Xu Jingzong looked at Li Kuan cautiously, the granary in the area responsible for transporting grain to the grassland caught fire, which caused problems with the grain reserves in the grassland.

Li Kuan knew this in his heart and motioned for Xu Jingzong to sit down.

After Xu Jingzong sat down, Li Kuan asked calmly, "How is the investigation?" ”

"Is it a real fire, or is it a man-made fire?"

"Where did the relationship between the local officials come from, and have you found out?"

"Also, why did you catch fire at this time?"

The granary caught fire, and Li Kuan said that he really smiled.

Whether in ancient or modern times, 80% of granary fires are man-made.

When the grain was smuggled away and resold, and when it was necessary to use the grain reserves, the person in charge lit a fire and burned the warehouse, which was normal.

If it has been useless, when the time comes, the old grain on the books will be used and lost, and then the empty warehouse will be replenished with new grain, so that no one can find out.

Li Kuan's question is also very simple, what is the reason, whether it is man-made or a fire.

As for the background relationship of officials, it involves whether it is a political struggle or not.

Xu Jingzong was very smart and understood what Li Kuan meant, and said cautiously: "Checked, the local officials came out of the Wei King's mansion." ”

In a word, everything is finalized.

Li Kuan was silent for a moment, and then spoke again: "The cause of the fire." ”

Xu Jingzong wiped the sweat on his head, and quickly explained: "The official in charge of investigating this matter is Zhang Xuansu, I asked through Yu Gong, the grain in and out of the government treasury is all normal, and there is no large-scale grain production in the local and nearby state capitals, and more importantly, the production of grain and wine has not increased recently, that is to say, no one resells grain, and the cause of the local fire is caused by lightning strikes." ”

"Even so, local officials removed all the guards in charge of the treasury on the grounds that they were unprofessional."

Li Kuan smiled and looked at Xu Jingzong meaningfully.

"Why didn't you tell me in advance?"

Lao Xu looked at Li Kuan's calm expression as always, and said in a low voice: "Zhang Xuansu has urgently transferred food from other state capitals. ”

Li Kuan shook his head and said casually: "Are you afraid that I will be angry and fight with King Wei, and then want to fill up the treasury as soon as possible and solve it in private, so you won't tell me." ”

Xu Jingzong laughed twice, he really had this idea.

Li Kuan is not angry, it is normal for his subordinates to have their own ideas.

"But have you ever thought about what the rest of the people think if I don't fight back?"

When Xu Jingzong heard this, he was silent for a moment, and then spoke: "Then have you ever thought about it, if you fight back, will anyone immediately suspect that you have the intention of seizing the throne." ”

"At the same time, in this matter, will anyone deliberately find trouble, and then wait for you to fight back against King Wei, turn the nature of this matter into the two of you competing for the throne, fighting, and finally accusing you of a big crime of disrespect, suing you of a crime of peeping at the throne as a royal family, making your legal system go wrong, and letting the world see your jokes."

Xu Jingzong was no longer panicked at this time, and he asked calmly.

Li Kuan was silent, this is the advantage of having his own strategists around him, and sometimes, the problems that he can't see, the strategists under his command can see.

Xu Jingzong is at most eighty points in governance, but in standing in line and looking at people's hearts, it is enough to get 95 points upward.

In Xu Jingzong's view, the operability of Li Kuan's identity is too strong.

With a little use, Li Kuan can lose his qualification to compete for the throne.

Just like this time, as long as Li Kuan is deducted from the name of peeking on the throne as a royal family, then Li Shimin must punish Li Kuan.

If you don't punish you, what should other royal families do the same.

The punishment cannot be light, at least Li Kuan has to be grounded for several years and exploit the right to his position.

At the same time, people all over the world will put a big disrespectful hat on Li Kuan.

Xu Jingzong said that the person behind the plan is really ruthless.

Suppressing the annoyance in his heart, Li Kuan was very dissatisfied with this, and looked at Xu Jingzong angrily.

"Then what should I do?"

"Patience."

"Zhang Xuansu has always been known for his fairness and justice, and when he comes to fill the grain and grass, no one will dare to disobey, because he will really be ruthless, so that our problems will be solved."

"Moreover, as long as you don't make a move, the other party is performing alone, and there is no way to target you."

Xu Jingzong said it very seriously, but Li Kuan felt that this plan was so cowardly.

In Xu Jingzong's view, it is not important whether you are cowardly, but what is important is that it is easy to use.

In desperation, Li Kuan could only agree to this plan for the time being.

Xu Jingzong slowly retired.

Leaving the Chu Palace, Xu Jingzong hurriedly rushed to Yu Zhining.

On the way, Xu Jingzong thanked the Chu Wangfu for having a large enough network, and there were all kinds of people in it.

Zhang Xuansu handled this matter, and with Zhang Xuansu's character as a guarantee, everyone would only think that he was seriously carrying out the court's orders, and would not suspect that he was trying to find a way to prevent others from targeting Li Kuan.

In fact, there is another layer in this matter, that is, delaying the delivery time, so that there is not enough food in the grassland, and in the end, Li Kuan can be blamed.

Li Kuan reported and said that Li Kuan had no communication skills and would only rely on the court.

If Li Kuan doesn't report it, it means that Li Kuan has a ghost in his heart, and there is a problem with the grassland grain, so he can send someone to investigate.

Zhang Xuansu urgently transferred food from other locations to stop this matter, and his character would not make people suspect that he was helping Li Kuan stop the attack.

The person behind it could only say that it was really unlucky, it turned out to be Zhang Xuansu.
